I. OLD BUSINESS

Questions concerning items that have been held must be resolved
within a 90-day period following the approval date of the Senate Curriculum
Report. The proposals will be returned to the presenting departments if the
hold is not resolved by the end of the 90-day period unless an extension of the
hold is granted by the Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs.

The Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs is considering the attached proposals.
New majors, options, and minors become effective following the approval of the
Executive Vice President and Provost; new courses and courses being dropped
become effective the first semester following the approval of this Report unless
otherwise specified, the date upon which changes in existing offerings will
become effective is the date of the first published Schedule of Courses
listing the changed course, unless written objection is received by the University
Curriculum Coordinator Sherry F. Walk (sfw2@psu.edu) at the Senate Office, 101G
Kern Graduate Building (863-1202) on or before November 11, 2004. A copy of any written
objection sent to the Committee must also be sent to the college representative
of the sponsoring college. The University Curriculum Coordinator will communicate
the objection to the Chairperson of the Committee. Any item to which written
objection is made will be reconsidered by the appropriate committee and may
be delayed in becoming available for scheduling; however, reconsideration of
any specific item will not affect the scheduling date of other items here listed.
